Offered here from the dougfinds collection of curated
fashion, accessories, clothing, collectibles, and unique gifts is this charming pair of
vintage 1993 Byers' Choice Ltd. Christmas Skaters, featuring a
beautifully dressed gentleman and lady enjoying a nostalgic winter outing on
the ice.
Part of the
beloved Byers' Choice holiday figurine tradition, these two characters capture
the warmth and personality of an old-fashioned Christmas. Their expressive,
hand-finished faces, traditional winter clothing, and miniature ice skates
create a delightful scene reminiscent of Victorian-era holiday celebrations and
snowy village skating ponds.
The Lady
Skater Numbered 63/100
Dressed in a
vibrant red coat with tiny white button accents, the lady wears a coordinating
red bonnet and a red-and-black buffalo plaid shawl decorated with a small holly
accent. Her full gray skirt drapes gracefully over her skates, while a fluffy
white muff completes her winter ensemble.
Her rosy
cheeks and open singing expression give her the distinctive personality
associated with Byers' Choice holiday figures.
The
Gentleman Skater Numbered 45/100
Her
companion wears a rich forest-green coat, tan knee-length trousers, white
stockings, and a red winter cap accented with holly. A colorful red tartan
plaid scarf drapes around his neck and down his back.
His raised
arm and animated expression complement the lady's pose, making the two
especially appealing when displayed together.

Condition
and Display
These
figures have been enjoyed and display typical signs of age associated with
vintage handcrafted holiday collectibles. The female skater is missing the
raised front section of one metal skate blade. Both figures retain their
attractive original costumes, and the remaining skate details, facial features,
and accessories contribute to their wonderful vintage character.
Whether
displayed on a Christmas mantel, incorporated into a holiday village scene, or
added to an established Byers' Choice collection, this delightful skating
couple brings a nostalgic touch of wintertime charm.
A
particularly appealing pair for collectors of Byers' Choice Christmas
figurines, vintage holiday decorations, and traditional winter skating scenes.
